Title: Pedals deadals
Post by: TX-EcoDragon on May 08, 2003, 12:07:09 am
Well as luck would have it, here it is my time off and my rudder pedals are toast. A few days ago the left toe brake dies, no biggie for the time being I thought. . I just mapped it to the right. . . .well, now my calibration centerpoint is random, sometimes im holding left rudder for torque and p-factor (and you know I wouldnt be caught dead in one of them soviet numbers) and it spikes to full defflection randomly. I am going to try to talk to fry;s in the morning. . but I think at this point its factory warranty time. I wrote CH two days ago and no reply as of yet.  :-(

Sorry to hear that EMU!!  I had an old gameport CH throttle die a month back and had to bite the bullet and buy a new shiny USB one.  Love the new throttle....even though it's the same, I can actually program it now!!! B~TX-Rahman"BLUE 2"

Well Manford, we knew it was a one way trip at the beginning of the journey.If I recall, wasn't it $225 that we agreed upon?:)    Don't worry about a thing, I never intended to collect any reimbursement from you anyhow.TX-Deck out.

LMAO!Honestly, the throttle Rahman is talking about ran me about $10 for both a throttle and stick off of ebay.   Older (way older) CH models, gameport only, USB hadn't been invented yet.  I think I paid more on shipping than the hardware was worth.   At least he got a little bit of use from it.Good luck Eco, if CH or Fry's doesn't come thru for you, I will be glad to help you locate replacement POTS if you think that might solve the issue.TX-Deck out.

Bummer bro, but if you have the reciept and its not to old, Fry's may hook you up. My stick went south a while back, was 5 months old and they just told me to go get anotheroff the shelf   maybe you'll have the same luck.S~TX-TornadoBadd Azz Blue 3TX TO

So maybe he'll go to Fry's, get a box off the shelf and have the new joystick die after 5 months?    Is that what you meant?:PTX-Deck out.
